I'm 2 weeks in to my first SW tank, finally have my skimmer dial in ( I think) how fast should my collection cup fill? I have the level between the two blue lines? And also what's the best wet or dry?!?ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1406233157.119485.jpg

My cups fill up every few days at most. My asm skimmer has a huge cup so it goes even longer. BUT I skim very dry, not sure why but i have always preferred the thick skim over the soda colored water that alot of people skim. My asm pulls a tar like substance outta the water i have it set so dry. LOL

Just let it work it self out is my advice, you look like you are getting a decent skimmate so leave it for a few days and see if it needs more adjustment.
 
I run mine dry as well. I empty my skimmer cup every saturday I also pull a tar like substance but it took me a while to get it tuned perfectly to do so haha
